Team Assignment
Help File for Scrummage
This file shows new users to Scrummage how to use the tool. It would be used as a reference that a new user might search by Category much like an indexed help file in WORD.
The description on the right gives the explanation relative to Scrummage and includes Screen shots where complexity warrants a photo. The total length of this assignment might be 20 -40 pages or so because of screen shots and explanations. You will be uncovering new definitions that you can pull from Rubin’s book “Essential Scrum”.
See the example under Burndown Charts below.
The major categories each have a description with some information as to how and why it is used. A sufficient explanation should be given so that a new person (Whether Product Owner, ScrumMaster or team member) to Scrum will know how to use Scrummage to manage its next scrum.

A Burndown Chart is a graph that shows on the vertical axis the quantity of work (either in hours or product backlog item units) remaining over time, which is shown on the horizontal axis.

In Scrummage, the Burndown Chart is shown in the Dashboard view of Hours remaining versus calendar time for the Sprint.
